Sunday 17 May sees London's Yard Theatre share a programme of live events.
Artist Stacy Makishi will make one-to-one phone calls to deliver a performance in which mundane household objects become revelatory during the course of the day whilst the evening sees an online performance of Christopher Green’s interactive No Show.
The Yard’s Associate Director Anthony Simpson-Pike will host a Town Hall discussion on the future of theatre. Artistic director Jay Miller, who will be one of the speakers, said of the this special programme, “The Yard exists to celebrate extraordinary stories, to celebrate liveness and to celebrate people coming together to share an experience. For Yard Online, we have commissioned brilliant artists from across our theatre, music and local programmes to create a space where audiences can connect with each other and artists from their own homes.”
